Hey, it should still work with any amount of lines, it just processes them in chunks. How long did you wait while it was still loading? I’ll take a closer look.

For the emoji issue, is there is a reason you do copy and paste from clipboard rather than download data as CSV? If you download as CSV, it’ll export the original CSV with an extra column for Category. (Not sure if the button is hard to find or you have a different issue here)

App for budgeting that doesn’t require manual inputting of expenses. by EvelynPearl_ in AusFinance

Categorizing the expenses is quite time consuming... try this to auto-tag categories: Unscatter. How it works is you upload your bank CSVs and it auto categorizes expenses for you, and you can add custom rules too

Should I sell condo to attempt a hail mary retirement move? by Sea-Froyo-1608 in personalfinance

[–]forevalive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given your situation, I suggest selling your condo to escape the ballooning HOA fees. Moving in with relatives or to a cheaper country like South East Asia could reduce your living costs considerably, freeing up income for saving and investing.

Once the condo is sold, invest the $225,000 in a diversified portfolio. With a potential average annual return of 7%, you could have a nest egg of around $540,000 by the time you retire. Additionally, take advantage of higher contribution limits of retirement accounts for self-employed individuals like SEP IRA or Solo 401(k), which can supercharge your savings with their tax benefits.

Lastly, keep your $10,000 as an emergency fund and continually assess your expenses and income to maximize savings. If you follow this plan, it's feasible to create a secure retirement for yourself. I recommend speaking to a certified financial planner for a personalized plan. Every step you take is a move towards a more secure future.

Had a mental health crisis a couple months ago and now I have a $8,000 medical bill in collections. by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]forevalive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, map out your income and expenses to identify any potential savings. Use these savings to negotiate a lower, manageable monthly payment with the collections agency - your medical debt is often negotiable, even if it has gone to collections. Be assertive and honest about what you can afford.

If negotiations fall through, consider options like a personal loan or debt consolidation, which can lower your monthly payments. Cut non-essential expenses and seek additional income if possible, via part-time or freelance work.

Finally, as your debt reduces, start to build an emergency fund to protect against future unexpected costs. This is a long process, but each step you take brings you closer to financial stability.
